A MIXED CONFERENCE.
The Chicago Strikes the Subject

cusssOn.
CHICAGO, ILL, May IS.-A conference,
embracing appointed committees from
the master masons, the real estate board,
the master plasterers, the brick manu-
tGcturers, the master painters, the mas
ter plumbers, the galvanized iron and
architectural men, the master carpenters
and rOofers, the stone eXcavatOrs, the
lime, sand and cement associations, ard
the metal builders, was held to-day st the
Traders Exchange for the purpose of
devising means by which united
and unanimous action could be
taken with reference to the late
strikes. The labor OF the conference
will probably consume several days
Nothing of importance was accomplished
at to days meeting. This morning the
brlchlsyers were almost hilarious in their
meeting. In explanation of this they
said several advlces had been received
from Louisville, Utica and other places
to the effect that brick, cement and other
materials will be forwarded to the
unions upon application. This, if
carried out, will, to some extent,
render nugatOrY the action of the bosses
in threatening to boycott those of the
material mau OF Chicago who are caught
selling TO union men. kilograms from
the bricklsyers' associations of NeU
York, clothed in very frsternaI terms,
were received to-day. The unanimous
opinion among the men is that the bosses
do not cttach any importance to the pay
DAY question, but that the latter are aim
ing at getting as many apprentices to
WORK as possible, ofiicered by foremen,
with the Interior view of striking a blow
at the eight hour system.

TEXAS PENSION.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May I8.-The following
Texas pension was granted to-day: May,
widow of Nicholas Glucer, Dallas.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
WASHINGTON, May lS.-The interstate
commerce commission devoted some
time to-day to hearing arguments upon
application of the Queen and Crescent
Railway system for the permanent sus-
pension of section of the interstate
commerce law. John c.. Gault, general
manager of the system, first addressed the
commission. He described the line Of
the Queen and Crescent road, pointing
out its general proximity to the Misss-
sippi river and other routes. The system,
he said, had considerable business which
it woald like to retain, and to this end he
hoped to obtain permanent relief from
water competition.
Chairman Cooley inquired at what
points they sought relief.
Mr. Gault replied that they wished to
be relieved from this competition where
ever it affected the system. He read q
petition prepared by the officers of the
road setting out the effect of water COM
petition in reducing cotton rates, with q
view to demonstrating the Justice of their
request to have the temporary suspension
made permanent. 1t was stated in the
paper that the practice of steamboat lines
has been to mabe daily such rates as may
be necessary 10 secure the traffic. Some !
thing had been said about competition as
q reason why the rates should be cut down. |
Mr.. Gault replied that his road had little |
to do with the fixing of rates, that
was done by the Southern Railway AsSo- |
citation. He did not wholly approve of
the system of regulations that governed
these rates. He believed in fixing rates
that would be just to all, and would
rather have,a dozen thriving towns on his
road than one lsrge city. His road was
willing and anxious to give the law fair
trisl, and only asked to be relieved from
water competition. That meant the Ohio |
and Mississippi rivers chiefly. To the |
chairman Mr.. Gault said that if their re-
quest was granted his company
did not propose to make any
local rate between Cincinnati and Atlanta |
higher than the through rate. Cotton,
he said, was about the only interest |
which had been favored with special |
rates. The roads would be glad to in |
clude pigiron in the special arrangement, |
making the rates dependent upon the |
market prices of iron. This could not be |
done without violating the long or short
haul clause. He did not believe any
special concession was necessary to de- &.
velop the large lumber industry of the |
south.
After some further talk, chiefly upon
suppositioDs of cases in case of compe-
tition, Mr.. Gault gave place to General
Black, Commissioner of Pensions, as q
committee of one representing the Board
OF managers of the National Volunteer
Soldiers, Home asking for suspension,
modification or some legal arrangement

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 18.-The Mexican
government has explained in reference to

thieves, and the shooting was done by q
band of other desperad0es.
A DEMAND FOR Plea.
Special 10 the Gazette
WASHINGTON, May l8.-There is a sus-
piCion that some thrifty type founder
was about Congress when the Interstate
commerce law was passed. At all events
the news has increased the profits of the
type founders as much as it has the earn
ings Of the trunk line roads. In the law
tksfeis provision that the schedule Of
rates and fares Of the railroad companies
shall be plainly printed in large type of at
least the size of ordinary plea. Strictly
Interpreting this law, the commerce com
mission decided that the schedules must
be in plea type, for the companies will
not print them in any larger type than
is necessary. The consequence has
been that the type founders OF
Washington have been taxed TO their ut
most to supply pics type for ordinary
printing purposes for the commission and
local railroads. The experience in Wash
ington is said TO be uniform throughout
the country. One of the leading printers
in Washington, who does the work for the
commission, says that the printers for all
the railroad companies found it necessary
to supply themselves with new fonts of
type, to supply the demand of the new

How TO Have nroiIers

Broilers have sold as high as 80 cents per
pound, wholesale, in the Now York markets
this season. But it must be kept in mind
that only the best young chicks bring the
high figures Those who make a speciality
OF broilers are careful to breed them to n
certain standard, so as to combine quality
as well as weight, which is done bv mating
plymouth Rock cocks with AsiatiC hens
Brahmas or Cochins The chicks must be
dry picked and the skin not torn, while the
crops should be empty. The plumper the
breast the better.
The main object at first in raising the
best broilers is TO secure growth The
chicks are therefore fed on food containing
a plentiful supply Of nitrogen and phos,
plates No food is given the newlv-hatch-
ed chicks before they are 30 hours old. The
custom Of feeding fnely-ehoppod eggs as
the first meal has been abolished, expert
ence having taught that such food causes
bowel disease. A mixture of one part corn
meal, two parts ground oats, one part mid
dlngs, and one part ground meat to which
little salt and fine bone meal are added. is
mixed with boiling water or milk and cook
ed in the shape Of bread. This is crumbled
and fed to the chicks every two hours. ex-
cept that one of the meals may consist of
mashed potatoes, After the first week
screenings, wheat and ground meat are
kept in troughs where the chicks can get
Them at any time, while gravel and water
are kept within reach.
After Anew weeks they are fed only three
times day on the mixed food mentioned
only it may be scalded instead of cooked
though cooking is preferable. Three times
n week small allowance Of chopped meat
raw or cooked, is given, as well as chopped
cabbage or any convenient green food.

Evnpornted vs.. Dried Frui,.

The term 'evaporated" has become well
established in the markets for fruit prepar
cd by artificial heat, as distinguished from
that dried in the primitive way by exposur,
TO the sun. Evaporated fruit being driet
rapidly, has not time to become change
and partly soured, and, being dried in tn,
dark, remains beautifully white instead OF
turning brown like that exposed to the sun
besides these, there are the important ad
vantages of freedom from dust and the
solllng by insects, birds, etc The evapo
rated fruit presents such superior appear.
ance, there is no wonder that it brings a
much higher price in the markets and stores
than the ordinary dried fruit. This is q
matter of so much Importance that one who
has any considerable quantity Of fruit tc
preserve by drying cannot afford to 20 on
in the old-fashioned way. There are seve
raj drlers or evaporators now offered at a
moderate price, which turn out as good
products as the expensive machines first in.

tween the superior and inferior article will
readily pay for good drier in ono season.
with artificial heat one is not liable to loss
m stormy weather, which stops the drying
M the sun, and it is often very difficult to
keep the partly -dried fruit from spelling.
Indeed, the advantages of drying by artifi-
cial heat are so many and 30 obvious that
we advise all interested to look into the
merits of the several driers now offered
with view to purchase. Not only is arti-
feial heat superior for drying fruit but
vegetables especially sweet corn, are much
better in flavor and appearance than when
dried IN the old way.-Am. Agiculturist.

Protect the MIendoru.

After the hay is safely stored and the
first after harvest showers have brought
on the fresh second growth of the meadows.
the fences there being good, the temptation
to stock owners to turn in on these fields is
almost as strong as is the disposition of the
ahimals themselves to occupy these fresh
pastures But yielding in this particular
npw is very damaging in several particulars.

" greedily they are utterly unfit for work
OF even for fighting the flies while under

Practice is yet to be noticed. We refer to
the damage to the meadows themselves.
This second crop is needed as a protection
to the grassroots from the hot rays of the
sun during the next two months it is
needed to hold the moisture of the soil dur
ing the dry weather of September and DC
tpber; and, more than all, it will be need
ed next winter to cover the roots and ena-
hle them to retain their vitality in spite of
the effects of wind and frost. II these
things are true concerning an old meadow
they are especially so in the case Of newly
spwn fields. Do not allow the horses, cat

for weeks over the grass sown wheat stub

will be devoted to nibbling the fresh clover

of the meadows, but it should have every
opportunity to make Roadway for next
years harvest. -StOckmdn

The great success of the Royal Baking
Powder is due to the extreme care exercis
ed by its manufacturers to make it entirely

years practical experience, are contributed
toward this end, and no pharmaceutical
preparation can be dispensed with a great.
or accuracy, precision and exactness,
Every article used is absolutely pure. A
number OF chemists are employed to test
the strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination with
its co-ingredients is definitely known.
Nothing is trusted to chance, and no person
is employed in the preparation of the ma
terlals used or the manufacture of the pow
der who is not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. AS consequence.
the Royal Baking Powder is of the highest
grade of excellence, always pure, whole

exactly like every other, and will retain its
powers and produce the same and the high
est leavening effect in any climate, at any
time. The government chemists, after
having analysed all the principal brands in
the market, in their reports placed the Roy
al Baking Powder at the head of the list for
strength, purity and wholesomeness, and
thousands of tests all over the country
have further demonstrated the fact that its
qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled.

Misery loves company y one who has
committed fault is glad to find that he is
no worse than others. This is not perver-
sion of human nature, but unreconstructed
nature itself, Having once made a ten
fold blunder in comparing the domestic
product of sugar with the whole amount
consumed in the United States, we copy
with pleasure the following statistics of
the production of cane sugar, taken from
an item found in the American Cultivator :
Secretary Colman of the agricultural
department places the production Of cane
sugar in the United States in 1886 at g.
1917, 900 tons, and in 1867 at 2.36S 900
tons; also the production of sugar from
sorghum cane at lO0,0 600 tons. "
These figures are much too large. For
1867 the sum given as the domestic prod
uct is about twice as much as the entire
amount consumed in the United States. of
which the domestic product is only about
one-tenth. For 1856 the amount of the
home product as stated in the item quoted
is more than twice as much as the whole
amount consumed In the most favorable
seasons the domestic product of cane sugar
has reached little over 300, 600, 600 pounds
